Sergeant Karim Warner has entered a plea of not guilty to charges against him in relation to an incident where is said to have shot up a car with two civilians inside.

Warner pleaded not guilty before Magistrate Ngaio Emanuel for  allegedly firing 12 rounds in a public place as well as assault of the two occupants of the vehicle in question.

He will now stand trial on May 29.

According to reports, Warner faced difficulties in repossessing a vehicle he had leased to an individual.

He allegedly used GPS tracking to locate the vehicle in Willikies, where he confronted the occupants—a man who rented the car and a female companion—who refused to return it.

Tensions reportedly escalated, leading Warner to discharge his weapon and fire 12 shots at the departing vehicle, striking it multiple times.

Despite initial attempts to keep the incident quiet, Warner was eventually arrested, charged, and later released on station bail.
